After setting up a new web application for a new portal I faced a crawling problem of the new site collection. Description: Right after starting the crawler it stops, giving 2-3 error messages, all with the same syntax: Error in the Site Data Web Service. (Value does not fall within the expected range.) The crawl log was the only place the error was logged, with no additional information regarding the cause of the problem. Searching the web came up with very little solutions, while...
A few days ago we started migrating a portal site from one web application to another on the same machine. As part of the migration process I needed to copy lists from the old site to the new site. Some lists, contained Person list columns, with single or multiple selection. While the migration went smoothly during the export/import process itself the result was weird – all the user names were altered on the new portal. Reason: 1. Person list columns store the user name (as text) and...
In case you came across a situation where you suddenly can’t browse your MOSS 2007 application locally, but still can access remote MOSS servers while others can access your application remotely: KB963027 The solutions are: 1. Uninstall the update 2. Use IE6… 3. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/963027/ – read for more details For more information see also: http://blog.mpecsinc.ca/2009/04/sbs-2008-ie-update-kb963027-breaks.html http://spiderwool.blogspot.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive...
I managed to wrap both search provider into a feature so it will be easier to deploy them. The new feature includes a simple WebPart which displays link buttons for installing the providers. Installation process can be viewed here: The entire solution can be downloaded here . In order to compile these files need to be copied into your Program Files/Netwise. (The wsp file in located inside wsp/Debug folder inside the project)
This post is following the previous one . In this post I will demonstrate the second search provider for MOSS – the documents search provider for IE8. I will be using the same solution, using the same method so this time I will only demonstrate the changes between the two. (The HTML is the same HTML from the previous post) The service The interface looks like this: [ServiceContract] public interface IDocumentSearchService { [OperationContract] [WebGet(UriTemplate = " /Search?q={word} "...
In this post, and the one following it I will present two new search providers for MOSS 2007. Search provider is an old feature of common browsers, IE8 brings it into a new level with the extended visibility it provides for search results. You can read more about IE8 search providers IE8 search provider . The two search providers I will present will be: 1. People search provider for searching people in the portal. 2. Documents search provider for searching documents in the portal. As we all know...
As already known, settings forms of MOSS 2007 can usually be found at: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS Each form (*.aspx file) can be accessed from any site on the portal inside /_layouts folder. for example: http://doron-g/_layouts/settings.aspx and http://doron-g/SiteDirectory/wiki/_layouts/settings.aspx Each showing the same form, exposing enabled featured for each site. In the following posts I will demonstrate how to add new forms to the...
This post is about enabling web slices on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The following example will demonstrate how to easily implement a simple control adapter which will render the required html code for turning any web part on your server into a live web slice. First thing I did was creating a class called WebSliceAdapter which inherits from ControlAdpater . 1: public class WebSliceAdapter : ControlAdapter ControlAdapter has a single method needs to be overridden: 1: protected override...
When calling GetListItems from /_vti_bin/lists.asmx to get records from a list which has columns with Hebrew names, the columns turn up to be empty after loading the xml to a DataSet. The reason is probably because the columns name shows different in the ows_MetaInfo then name as it appears in the row data returned from the web service: From the row: ows__x05ea__x05d0__x05e8__x05d9__x05da__x05de_="2008-03-20 00:00:00" From ows_MetaInfo: תאריךמ:SW|2008-03-20T00:00:00Z In order to transform...
While I was examining Olivier Carpentier's WSS List DataSource on http://www.codeplex.com I decided to try and create a similar tool for MCMS. The basic idea was to create a custom placeholder which allows content editors to select WSS lists from a remote MOSS server. But first, a few words on MCMAS custom placeholders: A Placeholder is a control which has 2 major instances – one for users where it displays the content and one for the content editor so they can alter the content. Creating a custom...
While developing a feature developers often need to generate GUIDs, get assembly full names, alter XML's etc. One of the most helpful tools is available from Andrew Connell . After I managed to make it work (uninstalling any reminder of visual studio 2008 from my machine) it worked great and did make my life easier. The only problem with the solution are the pre requirements - Refactor Pro! & CodeRush . Both are great extensions for Visual Studio, only they cost 250$ and we are not planning...
I'm currently working on a custom feature project template set of visual studio projects for MOSS developers. I currently have two main project types ready - custom feature and custom master page feature. The first is designed for general features and the second is for master page features. While playing with the new project I managed to alter a master page and make is look a little bit like MCMS after a few minutes of copy & paste: The project looks like this: These projects require as little...
I attended the office users group meeting yesterday for the second time now. Since moss2007 can be used as a huge platform for development the group is more technical then one might think when hearing the name "office users group". While the last time was dedicated for SharePoint ( Meron Fridman ) , this time InfoPath (Yaron Harel) and Visio ( Eran "WOW" Kolber ) were introduced and discussed. I think that every web developer / information-system related should consider joining this new group which...
